State Flag is composed of a blue field on which is
embroidered the State Coat of Arms. The first State Flag bearing the State Coat
of Arms was authorized by the General Assembly in 1799. An act of the General
Assembly of June 13, 1907, standardized the flag and required that the blue
field match the blue of Old Glory.

Race: Philadelphia Distance Run
City: Philadelphia
Cost: $43.95
A little over a month after hobbling through a half marathon with a hamstring pull/slight tear, I came into PDR not knowing what to expect. Some days are just perfect race days; your body and weather conditions combine for a speedy day. PDR was one of those days as I logged my 2nd fastest race time for a half on a crisp, cool morning.
This was my first visit to Philadelphia. The plan was to visit several museums and soak in the history. Just like perfect running conditions came together that weekend museum touring wasn't to be. I did see the Liberty Bell and then I lost interest and just walked around the area taking in the atmosphere rather than spending time in museums.
